Yes I am looking for information on my family and curious to see if I have living relatives in Italy.

My great-grandfather's name was Antonio Dominianni and he was born around 8 July 1895 in Isca Sullo Ionio. He had a brother named Bruno Fiore Dominianni born in 1903.

Several other siblings died in infancy and I do not know their names.

My paternal grandfather was Sverio Dominianni from Isca Sull' Iono. He and his brother Pasquale both emigrated to the USA in the early 1900.
